• Swine Flu - Maybe We Won't Close School

  The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, specifically acting director Richard Besser, may change their minds about recommending school closings wth regard to the virus formerly known as swine flu, now known as H1N1 influenza. Here's an awkwardly worded sentence from the Wall Street Journal: "Federal health officials are considering new revising guidelines on school closures as evidence mounts that the current H1N1 influenza outbreak is acting like the seasonal flu."

• Swine Flu - Are You Worried About Your Kids?

  I'm a bit of a hypochondriac. It's not a debilitating thing, but I do have a bit of the "hangnail = brain tumor" thing going on. (A comedienne whose name I can't recall had a line somewhat like this, and apparently it's also on an episode of ER. But I digress.)

The two girls must resort to wearing diapers and lost the ability to speak months ago. There is no known cure for this disease, officially know as National Niemann-Pick Disease but referred to by doctors as Childhood Alzheimer’s. Most children with the disease die before their 20th birthday.   However; there may be hope in the experimental use of... Read More...
